Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9501215A1] A separator for separating suspended solid particles and/or fluid droplets from a body of liquid is described, wherein fluid is caused to flow through at least one helical flow path defined between axially facing surfaces of a number of conical helical plates. Preferably, a substantially vertical flow channel (1) of circular cross-section has disposed therein at least one conical helical plate (10) with a diameter substantially equal to that of the flow channel, the conical helical plate or plates being arranged coaxially in the flow channel and defining at least one helical flow path coaxial with the flow channel between axially facing surfaces of the plate or plates. The plate or plates are preferably capable of rotating about the axis of the flow channel, and may be driven at a speed so as to correspond with, or so as to be greater or less than, the flow rate of the fluid.
